[at first, there is only silence over the journal - but if anyone listens closely, they'll be able to hear the faint, tinkling tune of a music box... a music box with a monkey perched atop, to be exact, little cymbals in its hands. after a few moments the tune fades away, slowing to a stop.]
It seems my memories have been returned to me.
[erik doesn't sound overly pleased about it; in fact, his voice is rather flat and monotone.]
... When I knew nothing, I longed for nothing more than the knowledge of myself and my past. Yet I was a fool - others regain memories of happiness, of loved ones and positive times, things they would not wish to lose. And I, what have I regained? Nothing but the painful truth of what I have lost, what I have suffered... and what I have done.
When my memory was but a blank slate, I had the potential to start anew, to be - a good man, perhaps, no longer haunted by my past. As well, I had forgotten my loss - I was no longer aware that I was ever a composer or a musician.
The return of my memories brought with it no joy or relief. I have no expectations of understanding, nor do I wish for any. For I am certain none of you recalled a childhood spent-- [pauses, realizing that in his anguish he is speaking too freely. So he merely changes the subject, as if nothing had happened]
To those who found and returned my memories -- I thank you. And to those I met whilst my memory was lost... it truly was a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
There may still be memories which belong to me about the castle. [his voice sharpens, a dangerous tone to it] If anyone is to find anything with the name 'Erik' upon it, return it to me at once. Do not read it, or if it is a videotape, watch it. It is not for your eyes.
